LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A professional basketball player just committed to the University of Louisville.
Take a moment to absorb that statement.
London Johnson, a 21-year-old point guard from Norcross, Georgia, who spent three seasons in the NBA G League, announced Monday that he will join Pat Kelsey's program as part of Louisville's 2026 recruiting class. He is expected to arrive midway through this season and, if all goes according to plan, have two years of eligibility beginning in 2026-27.
The news was first reported by Jeff Goodman of Field of 68.

It's a recruiting win. It's a college basketball curiosity. And it's something that, until a few weeks ago, wasn't even allowed.
From G League to college? Really?
Yes. Really.
